Does hemmroid cream elimitate the hemmroid?

No: Most hemorrhoid preparations soothe or help relieve inflammation but don't make them go away. External hemorrhoids usually shrink over time into little tags; internal ones can swell up with straining or anything that increases pressure on the veins in the area.

No: Hemorrhoid cream decreases the inflammation of the hemorrhoid, which is a dilated vein. It does not destroy the vein or eliminate it. They can recurr again if the patient strains, has hard stools, has constipation, pregnancy , and other causes. There are some surgical options for hemorrhoid removal. Consult a proctologist for these options.
